3:10 am

sprite

hi west! Just in between 2 waves of babblers, I think

3:10 am

westford

how have you been?

3:11 am

sprite

not too bad. Working hard to get better. And you?

3:12 am

westford

busy..and my computer was not working right so I couldn't chat

3:12 am

sprite

aw :( Computers are like cars. They just got to work, and not have problems.

3:13 am

westford

granddaughter Megan is 9 years old today..seems like she was just bo**

3:13 am

sprite

oooohhh congratulations! Incredible.

3:14 am

westford

she's an incredible young lady

3:14 am

sprite

:D Yay for Megan!

3:17 am

westford

how are your children..is school over ?

3:17 am

sprite

no, not yet he4. They still have 3 more weeks to go. They are doing well. Son is acting up a lot lately. But he is 16 so that is pretty normal :)

3:18 am

westford

I remember those days..someday he'll give you darling grandchildren

3:19 am

sprite

:D :D Does it sound stupid when I say I really look forward to grandchildren, even though I hope my kids won't start with kids of their own until they are a good ways into their twenties?

3:20 am

westford

not stupid at all..they'll be good parents..they have wonderful examples

3:20 am

sprite

awww that is a wonderful thing to say, west. Thank you :)

3:21 am

westford

I hope they find good partners as well..that's so important

3:21 am

westford

and how is the furry boy?

3:22 am

sprite

absolutely. Did I tell you that my son has been going steady with a girl for 2 years now? That is pretty long at his age. If she is an example of his choice, he will do fi4. She is a good 'un.

3:22 am

sprite

the furry boy is awesome! Happy as can be, and totally adorable still.

3:22 am

sprite

and how are your loved ones, west?

3:23 am

westford

that's so nice..Liam and Beth went together 5 years and have been married 12

3:23 am

westford

we are all good sprite..two daughters live on the west coast now but we saw them in April

3:23 am

sprite

wow that is great. Well I don't expect it to last into adulthood, but you never know. For some people it does.

3:24 am

westford

we'll be married 47 years next Tuesday

3:24 am

rubyfoo

hah, good morning.

3:24 am

westford

hi ruby so nice to see you

3:24 am

sprite

hi ruby :) Counting down now... 4 more nights!

3:24 am

rubyfoo

I just wrote to you, sprite, this time to the correct address.

3:25 am

sprite

west, that is wonderful! I think it is beautiful, people who are willing to invest into their relationship through life.

3:25 am

westford

ooh so happy for both of you

3:25 am

sprite

hehehe good for you, ruby ;)

3:25 am

rubyfoo

{{westford}} 47 years, you deserve a medal. If I had stayed married to my first husband, it would have been 50 years on 4 June.

3:25 am

sprite

it is gonna be so much fun. It is already fun!

3:25 am

westford

I have the world's most patient husband

3:26 am

sprite

nah, that is only half of the story, west. Your husband has a wonderful wife as well.

3:27 am

rubyfoo

that is surely true, westfor

3:27 am

westford

thanks sprite lol we do have fun

3:27 am

rubyfoo

d*

3:27 am

sprite

lol ruby... just read your mail. Late to bed and early to ri4... makes our ruby not healthy, not wealthy, but wise ;)

3:28 am

rubyfoo

<-- will never have grandchildren, dil's choice :(

3:28 am

sprite

I think that is SO important, to be able to have fun together. My love and I laugh about everything and nothing... just silliness actually... but it is wonderful.

3:28 am

westford

but you have them by proxy?

3:28 am

sprite

poor ruby :( You can adopt mine if you like. My kids, I mean, lol.

3:28 am

rubyfoo

you are both very fortunate!

3:29 am

westford

sprite will be good for Burt..she'll get him laughing

3:29 am

sprite

I know, ruby! I count my blessings every day.

3:29 am

rubyfoo

happily, my son is terrif and we have a good relationship, can talk about anything, even though he's so far away

3:29 am

rubyfoo

I guess miracles do happen.....

3:30 am

rubyfoo

Burt is realy looking forward to her visit, more than when it's his friends or his daughter visiting. Go figure!

3:30 am

sprite

oh yes, Burt and I and ruby will have fun. I have this odd feeling that I will like Burt a lot. I have a think for grumpy old men ;)

3:30 am

sprite

amazing, isn't it ruby? It is like a feeling that we will all click. As if we already know.

3:30 am

sprite

not think but thing, of course.

3:30 am

rubyfoo

how about I trade you one of you kids for Burt and I'll throw in a car and 200 books!

3:31 am

westford

lol but no trading puppies

3:31 am

sprite

roflollllllll nothing on this earth will buy you one of my kids. But you can adopt them as grand kids if you like :)

3:31 am

rubyfoo

no, nothing could come between me and my pups!!!!

3:32 am

rubyfoo

bring photos!

3:32 am

sprite

lol no, no trading puppies. I love my Terra way too much. But I will love the chows too.

3:32 am

sprite

photos... good idea... will try!

3:32 am

rubyfoo

rufie is going through a phase of wanting constant contact

3:32 am

rubyfoo

I'm re-naming him "Bumpo"

3:33 am

sprite

lol

3:33 am

westford

Natty Bumpo

3:34 am

rubyfoo

I thought of that, too

3:34 am

rubyfoo

he is the cutest and the BIGGEST pup. At 6 months I think he weighs about 40 lbs

3:35 am

westford

sprite won't miss Terra as much with your pups around

3:36 am

rubyfoo

it's hard to tell because I can't lift him any longer

3:36 am

westford

I wish I lived closer to both of you

3:37 am

rubyfoo

can you imagine what fun we three would have?

3:37 am

westford

Europe is so civilised

3:37 am

rubyfoo

except for my garden which looks a little jungle-ish

3:37 am

westford

oh yes that would be a blast

3:38 am

sprite

*kicks ruby gently in the behind for nagging about her beautiful garden*

3:38 am

sprite

west, I wish! Would love to see you.

3:38 am

westford

one of these days...

3:38 am

sprite

darn... disappear(ed) again is not a valid word :(

3:40 am

westford

off subject..Dallas had hockey puck sized hail stones..did Austin get any?

3:40 am

sprite

omg that is big!

3:41 am

westford

millions in damage

3:41 am

rubyfoo

I haven't talked to John

3:41 am

westford

they do big in Texas

3:41 am

sprite

I bet. Amazing, so big.

3:41 am

rubyfoo

I think Texas is so big, that Dallas might have its own weather, but I'll send him a note asking

3:42 am

rubyfoo

hail is beautiful, but scary

3:42 am

sprite

yes indeed.

3:42 am

westford

that wild fire in Colorado is right where my father-in-law had his cabin

3:42 am

westford

it came up for sale again and we almost bought it

3:43 am

sprite

oh dear... is he alright?

3:43 am

rubyfoo

I love this grid but ish I had more time

3:43 am

rubyfoo

I love this grid but ish I had more time

3:43 am

rubyfoo

wish*

3:43 am

rubyfoo

how close is the fire?

3:43 am

westford

he died in 2005 if I know him he's laughing his head off

3:43 am

sprite

it is a good grid, I love it too

3:44 am

rubyfoo

wild fires are frightening AND unpredictable, dependent on local wind

3:44 am

sprite

:D good for him, west!

3:44 am

westford

it's nature's way..unfortunately that doesn't make people who lose their homes feel better

3:45 am

sprite

I would hate to lose my ho4 like that

3:45 am

westford

the fire is the size of Washington DC

3:45 am

rubyfoo

last year it was burning all around Austin, but John was lucky and had made all sorts of contingency plans. He and DIL are very organized

3:46 am

sprite

west, that is really scary. Something we can hardly imagine he4 in our small country.

3:46 am

westford

the volunteers are saving others' homes while theirs burn

3:46 am

rubyfoo

I guess the order of "saving" things is: dogs, photgraphs, mementos of my mother

3:46 am

westford

absolutely

3:47 am

sprite

husband and kids and dog, wallet, computers, ereader, knitting :)

3:48 am

rubyfoo

passport

3:48 am

sprite

that is in my wallet

3:48 am

westford

funny story..the garage next door was on fire when I was little..my mother was giving herself a home permanent and wouldn't leave..she put her fur coat and photo albums by the front door and said she would go if she had to

3:48 am

sprite

lol quite a lady, your mother :)

3:49 am

rubyfoo

she sounds like a woman after my own heart

3:49 am

westford

she still is..just had her 96th birthday

3:49 am

rubyfoo

jewelry -- I could live off that for a while

3:49 am

3:53 am

rubyfoo

3:53 am

westford

3:54 am

grannyrose

3:54 am

3:54 am

sprite

3:54 am

sprite

3:54 am

grannyrose

ruby, it is so amusing to watch them. one of them looks like neanderthal man.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

very reluctantly, I have to go and take care of old Burt. He wants his Campari and it's the least I can do as he's trying to be so nice. He's even looking for a duck for sprite but he may have to shoot one from the lake!

3:55 am

westford

bye rose and bye from me too..it's almost 5

3:55 am

rubyfoo

4:29 am

Dianne

That's the way to do it - no stress, no pit stops

4:29 am

jean1953

Totally agree if you go by train you can see so much when you drive you have to concentrate or at least thats the plan lol

4:30 am

sprite

exactly. And no worries about route or car trouble etc. I have to switch trains in Paris. Metro from Gare du nord to gare de lyon.

4:34 am

Dianne

4:34 am

jean1953

5:25 am

NonoNanette

5:26 am

sprite

I have arranged for herring to be vacuum-packed and sealed, which they both love but can never get... and a map of a dutch town for husband of a place he once worked... and jenever (dutch gin) for ruby!

5:27 am

sprite

I am sitting here all smiles, because everything I wanted is working out!

5:28 am

sprite

such a wonderful feeling, if everything is coming your way, isn't it :)

5:29 am

NonoNanette

absolutely! You both must be so excited to meet each other

5:30 am

sprite

I am! It is funny, because I have ptsd and usually am too easily panicked to try something like this. But it feels good and I am looking forward to the trip so much. I have a feeling that 3 days will be too short, lol.

5:32 am

Christine

I'm baaaack - and just in time to read about the gifts. I hope Rubyfoo doesn't read back over the chat, when she returns/

5:33 am

sprite

5:33 am

sprite

6:02 am

NonoNanette

6:05 am

rubyfoo

6:05 am

rubyfoo

I've only made it twice before, but it's great fun to do it

6:05 am

rubyfoo

phantom: dobro -- weird guitar

6:06 am

NonoNanette

I take it you are planning to cook it while Sprite is visiting?

6:06 am

rubyfoo

sprite is arriving in the late afternoon and it will be ready for dinner1

6:06 am

rubyfoo

not duck a l'orange, duck a ruby with plums

6:06 am

NonoNanette

yummy what a nice welcoming meal

6:07 am

rubyfoo

after that, dinner will be "pick up" as lunches will be in restos

6:07 am

rubyfoo

but if the duck is a bust, you will all hear about it!

6:07 am

NonoNanette

good plan, don't waste your time together slaving in the kitchen

6:08 am

rubyfoo

we are going to play scrabble non-stop

6:09 am

Jivingjenny0

Anniebrook

6:23 am

sprite

hi Annie!

6:24 am

Anniebrook

hi sprite and nono

6:24 am

Christine

Then, in England we say (as you splutter) 'cough up, chicken, it might be a gold watch"

6:24 am

sprite

ruby: wonderful about the duck!

6:24 am

rubyfoo

if it ever happened to me, husband would just stand th***, wouldn't have a clue

6:24 am

sprite

roflollll Christine!

6:25 am

Anniebrook

((ruby))I just told Bobby and he is delighted

6:25 am

rubyfoo

when I've needed adrenalin shots for severe allergy reactions, he just stood th***, incapacitated

6:25 am

sprite

I was showing him the vid I linked earlier... let me find it. It is so funny!

6:25 am

Christine

I haven't lived in England for more than 50 years, so perhaps they no longer say that in the east end of London.

6:25 am

rubyfoo

I could have died on the floor but, fortunately, I can give myself shots

6:26 am

sprite

this is the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
Xv1tMioGgXI

6:26 am

sprite

not everybody is able to react aptly in crises. I am glad you could helpp yourself, ruby :)

6:27 am

rubyfoo

I wouldn't be around, otherwise! Have also learned hot to give him shots when he's laid up.

6:27 am

rubyfoo

how*

6:28 am

NonoNanette

for some reason both s's in the grid are invisable to me

6:28 am

sprite

naughty little Sses are hiding!

6:29 am

rubyfoo

can you all hear the barking? dogs are after something in the driveway! it's really loud!

6:30 am

sprite

dowwwwwwn boy!

6:30 am

NonoNanette

hope its not an intruder Ruby

6:30 am

rubyfoo

I think they would protect me with their lives, even the puppy

6:31 am

NonoNanette

I'm sure they would

6:31 am

rubyfoo

BTW, sprite, I never told B. what actually happened with Max. It is our secret!

6:32 am

NonoNanette

Ruby, what did happen to Max?

6:32 am

sprite

oh ok dear... what did you tell him then?

6:33 am

rubyfoo

he drowned in the fishpond where he had gone, every night for years, for his late-night drink

6:33 am

NonoNanette

awwwwe so sorry Ruby!

6:33 am

rubyfoo

I told Burt that somebody probably found him, wandering around, and adopted him to a good home as he was so sweet and beautiful

6:34 am

rubyfoo

no point in telling him what actually happened as he would have felt responsible

6:35 am

NonoNanette

agreed. No sense in beating himself up over something like that

6:35 am

rubyfoo

since it's "his" fishpond

6:35 am

sprite

very wise. I will not blab.

6:35 am

rubyfoo

happily, Rufie makes him smile again

6:36 am

rubyfoo

the truth may not always be the best thing; we have to protect those we love

6:36 am

sprite

in some instants, truth is overrated. I fully agree. No need to make him feel sad and bad.

6:37 am

grannyrose

waaahhhh, 1 to go....and i can't find it. :(

6:37 am

sprite

lolllll which starting letter and which length?

6:37 am

rubyfoo

he was so terribly broken up about Max's disappearance that the truth would only have made it worse -- and then Rufie came 10 days after!

6:38 am

grannyrose

it's a t and a t4, for goodness sake

6:38 am

rubyfoo

6:38 am

6:43 am

rubyfoo

6:43 am

grannyrose

now to finish the other half of the bottle of bourbon, and bed, if i can fi4 it, lol

6:44 am

sprite

hehehe sleep well, rose!

6:44 am

rubyfoo

bouron, hmm....

6:44 am

Anniebrook

sweet dreams, rose

6:44 am

rubyfoo

a little bitters, sugar and an orange slice -- how bad can that be

6:44 am

rubyfoo

or even bourb0n*

6:44 am

NonoNanette

finish the bourbon and you wont even need a bed Rose

6:45 am

grannyrose

have been lately, sprite. was over-tired on tuesday, but on the right track nwo.

6:45 am

rubyfoo

we have bees here, about 1 1/2 inches long, called bourdons and they are gorgeous and don't sting.

6:45 am

sprite

wtg rose. Take care of you. *hugs*

6:45 am

rubyfoo

when they come in the(always open) house, I rescue them

6:45 am

sprite

are they real bees, ruby, or humblebees?

6:46 am

rubyfoo

that's a good question. I've ordered a book on French insects because the locals don't have the needed science

6:46 am

rubyfoo

they are beautiful -- multicolored and fuzzy

6:46 am

grannyrose

ruby, when we went to NZ on our cruise, we saw the biggest bumblebees ever. they are just amazing.

6:46 am

sprite

bumblebees? Not sure, grin.

6:46 am

Christine

My Grandma taught us, if you speak quietly to them, and are gentle, you can put them outside, without being stung. Always works for me.

6:46 am

rubyfoo

and when they come in the house, Rufie barks at them

6:47 am

sprite

sounds like a bumblebee to me. They can take up so much pollen that they cannot fly anymore.

6:47 am

rubyfoo

me, too, Christine

6:47 am

Christine

humble bees, you say??

6:47 am

rubyfoo

I only sqush waps, because I'm afraid the dogs will get stung\

6:47 am

sprite

hm, I do something like that with wasps. I really hate wasps. I always tell them: ei6 you fly out by yourself now, or you will become a very very flat wasp. Always works.

6:47 am

rubyfoo

they are too proud to be humblebees

6:48 am

sprite

no, I think it is bumblebee, Christine.

6:48 am

grannyrose

so...it's nearly 10pm he4. think i might meander ( good word, meander) off to bed. night all. see you at the flip.

6:48 am

rubyfoo

maybe I should speak to our wasps in French but fortunately, they don't come in the house

6:48 am

NonoNanette

nite Rose, sleep well

6:49 am

What else are mornings to yourself for?

7:43 am

Trifioso

cleaning, laundry, phone calls, dog grooming, cleaning, gardening, cooking, cleaning, and oh yes, cleaning

7:46 am

jmcnrick

molls you clue popped up after i went away. . . so ty and now i am leaving the computer completely for a while! *hands molls a tissue on the way out the chog*

7:47 am

Trifioso

why does molls need a tissue? are you sick sweetie?

7:48 am

Christine

her clue was ignored, and she's feeling down.

7:48 am

Trifioso

oh, yes, I see - sorry molly! the chog goes rather too fast for me sometimes

7:48 am

MollyL

Yes, but you can do all those things when others are around. True slothfulness is only achieved when alone.

7:49 am

Trifioso

good point, molly the wise!

7:49 am

Trifioso

and I like to rationalize it by saying that babble is keeping my gray matter perking, and thus therapeutic

7:49 am

MollyL

Exactly!

7:50 am

MollyL

Also, rest and doing things you enjoy are just as important as the responsible stuff. It keeps you balanced.

7:51 am

Trifioso

yes, but it is awkward when I was across the kitchen floor and it pulls my socks off

7:51 am

MollyL

Take your socks off.

7:52 am

Trifioso

you are my kind of woman, molls!

7:54 am

Trifioso

ooooh, my boyfriend is in the grid! hello Colin!

7:55 am

uusue2

morning all!

7:55 am

MollyL

The way I see it, we women (especially Mothers) have precious little time to ourselves. So when we get it, we should do what makes our hearts sing.

7:55 am

Trifioso

good morning sue!

7:55 am

medusa

hey all

7:55 am

Trifioso

I do agree, molly, but I also feel really good when things are under control and I can feel proud that I am managing to stem the tide. It's a matter of balamce, like anything else, isn't it?

7:56 am

Trifioso

It is, and I miss him too, sometimes intensely, but I am reminded that he died swiftly and that was a blessing really.

Hi Stid. Of course I "need" to find a few more words. Choosing a swim outfit is not something I enjoy. I prefer to skinnydip.

9:11 am

hego

oops, there she goes again.

9:11 am

stidmama

:-) I was thinking, if you were to swim really at "land's end" you might not need a suit. LOL

9:11 am

Precisely--I paddle in remote areas and go natural!

Crossy--imagine tan lines from wearing a PFD.

9:14 am

stidmama

I don't paddle and certainly don't swim... *sigh* although I did find my old swimsuit (used once) that might still fit. Will try it on later this month. No pool close by and it's foolhardy to deliberately swim where we live. Too many pathogens.

sorry,i stand corrected and must revise my tidbit of the day as crossy has been misled...

10:41 am

crosshair

Many misconceptions exist about how often the Bridge is painted. Some say once every seven years, others say from end-to-end each year. Actually, the Bridge was painted when it was originally built. Until 1965, only touch up was required. In 1965, advancing corrosion sparked a program to remove the original lead-based paint (which was 68% red lead paste in a linseed oil carrier). The removal continued to 1995. In 1965, the original paint was replaced with an inorganic zinc silicate primer and acrylic emulsion topcoat. In the 1980s, this paint system was replaced by a water-borne inorganic zinc primer and an acrylic topcoat. The Bridge will continue to require routine touch up painting on an on-going basis

Currently, a revered and rugged group of of 13 ironworkers and 3 pusher ironworkers along with and 28 painters, 5 painter laborers, and a chief bridge painter battle wind, sea air and fog, often suspended high above the Gate, to repair corroding steel. Ironworkers replace corroding steel and rivets with high-strength steel bolts, make small fabrications for use on the Bridge, and assist painters with their rigging. Ironworkers also remove plates and bars to provide access for painters to the interiors of the columns and chords that make up the Bridge. Painters prepare all Bridge surfaces and repaint all corroded areas.

my used 2008 Toyota Rav4 came without a manual; first time that ever happened. I have buttons I still don't know what they are for! (I love imagining what the "Auto LSD" is for, worried about trying it while driving though! ;-)

10:58 am

hootowl

why would you want to be ejected from a car???

10:58 am

crosshair

lol,for that uncontrolled slide that is about to send you over a cliff perhaps

10:58 am

Nef

you sure it isn't a hallucinogenic drug, crossy?

10:59 am

roncook

you may need that button if there is a gaseous discharge from your passenger after a curry.

10:59 am

MollyL

Ask a gearhead what a Limited Slip Differential is.

10:59 am

hootowl

That would depend on what side the cliff was on.

10:59 am

MollyL

All I know is it has something to do with the 4 wheel drive.

11:00 am

Nef

LOL! We've had lots of fun trying to figure that one out and also another one (which I can't remember right now)

11:00 am

medusa

first bo5 please

11:00 am

roncook

it locks the wheels and stops them slipping as you rev up to drive away

11:00 am

Nef

my son mentioned that too, Molly; but I don't have 4WD

11:00 am

MollyL

Here is what Google says: LSD: Limited Slip Differential. In a 4x4 system powers front wheels only until those slip, then sends up to 45% of total power to rear wheels, depending on front-wheel traction. System can be manually locked into 4x4 mode with 55/45 front/rear power split for demanding conditions by pressing the LSD button.

11:02 am

as I said, we have fun trying to figure these out. (I'll go see what the other button is

11:02 am

roncook

works on 2 wheel drive used in race cars

11:03 am

rastapopolous

but it's a Rav 4 - surely the 4 means 4wd

11:03 am

11:04 am

Whatever, it's supposed to give you better traction if you are stuck.

11:06 am

the other button shows a car going down a very steep hill and is labeled "DAC" I thought de-accelertator, but DH came up with something else

11:06 am

MollyL

I agree Rasta, but it's a Toyota so, well, you know.

11:06 am

11:08 am

25 mpg you want to live here with petrol (gas) Â£1.50 a litre if i can`t get 50 plus to gallon i will not buy it.

ron, I wanted something with higher mpg; but we needed something for DH's wheel chair and to carry his electric scooter too.

11:09 am

11:12 am

I'm disappointed in my 28mpg on my Rav; I really wanted something that would give us greater than 30 mpg. We bough it 2 yrs ago; NOW they are coming out with higher mpg vewhicles that will carry handicapped large items.....

I recognized my bite immediately, had to convince drs, there are recluse in new england and that my hubby got bit. They must come up in the landscaping plants from the south.

back again. What IS a raclette?

1:00 pm

lilliann

it is french and like a griddle pan over a grill and electric. you have little pans and in france you get raclette cheese which fits the small triangular pans and it is a soft cheese slice. so you cook whatever you want on the griddle and then put it in your pan with cheese on top under the grill to melt.here we can't get the cheese so i buy cheese slices

1:01 pm

MollyL

All things considered, probably a better favorite word, Peri.

5:47 pm

Aloyisius

5:47 pm

MollyL

"Marigold, I swear, I wasn't watching that porno movie. It just fell right in the DVD player."

I need to give this root beer vodka away or else I will pour it down the toilet

5:50 pm

periwinkle

I could probably go downtown and give it to a homeless person if I was so inclined.

5:50 pm

MollyL

It sounds like something high school kids would drink.

5:51 pm

periwinkle

it is really nasty

5:51 pm

MollyL

Or desperate alcoholics.

5:51 pm

Aloyisius

5:53 pm

MollyL

I think that is eys at the end.

5:53 pm

periwinkle

5:58 pm

Aloyisius

btw, p4.. I went out in the yard, cut bunches of chives, and made an awesome potato soup the other night.. also put lots of fresh parsley in it from my kitchen window plant.. on the other hand, I learned that you do NOT cut any chives that have thick stalks.. lol, too fibrous for the soup

6:21 pm

stidmama

We are having sausages for supper, and maybe something with potatoes. Or tortillas.

6:22 pm

9:03 pm

jesdraggon

evening all

9:05 pm

lilliann

hi jes

9:07 pm

stidmama

hey all -- jes, I learned that our aquatic turtle NEEDS live food. He really yums up his worms nowadays. :-)

9:09 pm

jesdraggon

red eared slider? try to keep him eating some veggies-they'll eat all meat if you let them, but it's not the best diet.

9:09 pm

stidmama

no -- softshell little brown guy

9:10 pm

lilliann

wb stid...and yes...i'm still here :0 don't tell me off too much!!

9:10 pm

stidmama

we had been feeding pellets in the morning and dried shrimp at night, but all of a sudden he stopped eating and dug down in his sand most of the time.

9:10 pm

lilliann

is that a terrapin or turtle?

9:10 pm

stidmama

He has live plants in the tank (probably needs renewing) that he nibbles on sometimes, too.

9:10 pm

jesdraggon

softshell? what species?

9:10 pm

stidmama

we call them turtles, lilliann

9:10 pm

jesdraggon

i don't think i've ever seen one in person....

9:10 pm

stidmama

hold on, I can remember this

9:11 pm

lilliann

well terrapins are small and you can keep them in aquauraiums

9:11 pm

stidmama

apalone spinifera

9:11 pm

stidmama

I have pictures of our little guy. hold on, will load them.

9:12 pm

lilliann

turtles ae alot bigger and you normally see them in aquariums as in where people see other big fish

9:13 pm

jesdraggon

not common as pets at all, stid

9:14 pm

lilliann

* i meant to say that terrapins are in big ....sory memory gone...i can see the picture but can't remember the word....

9:14 pm

stidmama

I know, he was a science teacher's critter, and I know it's not smart to release back to the wild, so we are loving him now. For about five years.

9:15 pm

lilliann

so that would be a terrapin?

9:16 pm

jesdraggon

don't generally use terrapin in the US, lillian, except to refer to specific species (diamondback terrapin). usually turtle = aquatic, tortoise = lives on land

9:16 pm

jesdraggon

doesn't matter how big or small they are

9:17 pm

lilliann

in the uk, we have terrapins in a tank...they are tiny little turtles...won't grow any bigger

9:18 pm

lilliann

turtles to us live in the sea and tortoises are big shelled and live on land

9:19 pm

stidmama

okay, I think I got it for my icon. An unusual angle, he was looking at me through the tank. Usually the pics online show the speckled back

9:19 pm

jesdraggon

changed in the chat, but still has your previous pick when i open your profile :(

9:20 pm

stidmama

The neck can extend about 8 inches, about as long as his shell. This type can actually breathe through their skin for many days if they need to.

9:20 pm

stidmama

You can copy the profile url and paste it into your browser and refresh it that way.

9:20 pm

lilliann

i can't see it stid:(

9:20 pm

jesdraggon

one of the species that doesn't ever leave the water, right?

9:20 pm

stidmama

meaning -- they can exchange oxygen directly from the water through their skin.

9:20 pm

lilliann

i've refreshed here and can't see it6

9:21 pm

stidmama

here's the url http://www.playbabble.com/profile_mini
.php?id=19085

9:21 pm

stidmama

oh, he likes to sun himself once or twice a day, but yes he is very happy to be completely submerged for hours at a time

9:22 pm

lilliann

i think they are cute stid, my friend when i was about 15 had two and i use to love watching them

9:23 pm

stidmama

or you can look here, I just put it on the website, will add more later

9:23 pm

stidmama

http://www.stidmama.com/?p=2493

9:24 pm

stidmama

I should say, usually the water is more clear, the day before we change it often gets pretty algae filled really fast.

9:25 pm

jesdraggon

hahaha! you're RSS'd :D

9:26 pm

jesdraggon

commence the webstalking...

9:27 pm

stidmama

rofl jes!

9:27 pm

stidmama

be prepared for my annual fathers and heroes rant this weekend, jes!

9:28 pm

jesdraggon

oooh, rantage! :D

9:28 pm

jesdraggon

ohohoh! kid is moving in today. for good and ever (or at least until the end of high school)

9:28 pm

stidmama

:-) Not nearly as creative as some of yours, of course, because I hope to get work as a teacher someday... LOL

9:29 pm

stidmama

kid? which kid? are you becoming an "adult" suddenly????

9:29 pm

jesdraggon

bruce's kid

9:29 pm

stidmama

*faints*

9:29 pm

Krysten

Anyone else watching Nik Wallenda right now?

9:29 pm

jesdraggon

i'm the wicked step-mom

9:30 pm

jesdraggon

(and by wicked, i mean wicked-cool)

9:30 pm

stidmama

bruce has a kid??? all my illusions are shattered. It's like learning that Hugh Jackman actually has bad breath in the morning or something.

9:30 pm

jesdraggon

hahahhhaaa.

9:30 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, he was married before me too

9:30 pm

jesdraggon

he's not the sweet and innocent young gent you pictured...

9:31 pm

stidmama

well, I think you will do a great job. One of the best parenting books ever imho is "the dog-trainer's guide to parenting" really -- and you are already good with animals. The key is consistent, small increments of change (when possible) and logical consequences to include noticing when the critter does things right.

9:31 pm

stidmama

um, when the KID does things right.

9:31 pm

lilliann

no krysten

9:32 pm

jesdraggon

heheh. one of my favorite lines from my college psych text was "parents and other trainers of small animals"

9:32 pm

stidmama

who's krysten? *confused mama look* and lilliann -- are you okay? I am not grumpy to still see you, just um, a little worried you may not be pain-free.

9:32 pm

stidmama

sounds like a great text, jes

9:32 pm

Krysten

It's pretty cool. A bit historic since no one has done this before.

9:32 pm

cosdem

hey im in the grid! ho4

9:32 pm

jesdraggon

mostly, kid's been really good for us but acting out for his mom and step-dad. and i have serious issues with some of their "training" techniques...

9:33 pm

stidmama

oh! hi krysten! missed your entrance

9:33 pm

stidmama

hey cos!

9:33 pm

cosdem

hi all :)

9:33 pm

lilliann

hi cos

9:33 pm

jesdraggon

hi krysten, cos

9:33 pm

Krysten

just got here stid. hi back!

9:34 pm

cosdem

can i have a clue for the ho5/14 after the plural gay men?

9:34 pm

stidmama

kids who change households sometimes start out being on best behavior and then test a LOT to see if they are really wanted. *battens down hatches between this location and that*

9:34 pm

stidmama

a type of lawnmower or car or motorcycle, cos

9:34 pm

stidmama

at least that is the one I have

9:35 pm

lilliann

ho5/14, car or motorcycle

9:35 pm

cosdem

ah thanks

9:35 pm

stidmama

actually, our propane generator is also that name.

9:35 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, there's a reasonable chance he'll act out more for us when he's been with us longer, but we'll see.

9:36 pm

Krysten

Woohoo...welcome to Canada, Nik!

9:36 pm

jesdraggon

not going to hold against him the stuff he was doing th5, because I think a lot of it was passive-aggressively trying to get kicked out. He REALLY doesn't get on with step-dad, but didn't want to hurt mom's feelers by asking to move up to dad's

9:36 pm

stidmama

someone told me once that my kids acting out was a good thing because it meant that they trusted me... not sure I wanted quite that level of trust LOL

9:37 pm

jesdraggon

and we have significantly different views on what constitutes "bad" than his mom and step-dad do... we, for instance, think it's normal for a 15 year old boy to google "cheerleaders" and look at pictures of girls in bikinis. This is apparently grounds for being kicked off the internet for over a year at his mom's place.

9:39 pm

stidmama

wow. not going to step in that one myself...

9:39 pm

lilliann

my bairn is into the "swearing" at me at the moment but that what is what all the bairns do at her school....i'm still not imptressed

9:39 pm

lilliann

my bairn is into the "swearing" at me at the moment but that what is what all the bairns do at her school....i'm still not imptressed

9:40 pm

cosdem

what if he looked up dirty words int he dictionary? would the dictionary be trashed? :)

9:40 pm

cosdem

ok sorry that was a bad joke

9:40 pm

stidmama

our boys pretty much have free reign online BUT if we discover they are sexting or otherwise being troll-like we reserve the right to kick their butts into three parallel universes laterally...

9:40 pm

jesdraggon

he'll have to work a lot harder to be in trouble with us, i think... and he's possibly too laid back (lazy?) to bother. hah!

9:41 pm

jesdraggon

i dunno, cos. tough to say. it's possible; his cell phone (a gift to him from his grandmother, who is paying the fees) was taken away because he had a picture of a girl on it.

9:41 pm

jesdraggon

mom/step-dad didn't bother to tell grandma the phone was banished so she could stop paying the monthlies though....

9:41 pm

cosdem

wow. hope he'll be happy with you guys!

9:42 pm

Krysten

Yay! Great job, Nik. Breathtaking!

9:42 pm

stidmama

I think you'll do a fine job, and I know he'll be safe with you. Does he like critters?

9:42 pm

cosdem

mo7 please

9:42 pm

jesdraggon

heheh. indeed, stid. We told him we don't care what he looks at, as long as it's LEGAL - no kid porn on our computers, and pointed out that pictures of himself and/or his classmates count as kiddie porn because he's underage, so NO PICS OF YOUR JUNK, BOY.

9:42 pm

stidmama

btw Krysten, that event is not being shown where we live yet.

9:43 pm

cosdem

lol good for you jes :)

9:43 pm

jesdraggon

he seems to like them; he's not an avid wants-his-own-dog kind (so far, anyway) but he plays with the critters we have, and may want one/a few of his own now that he's going to be around more.

9:44 pm

Krysten

That's too bad. So cool. He made it across like it was nothing.

9:44 pm

stidmama

It will be settling for him, perhaps, to have critters to think about and care for.

9:44 pm

cosdem

nvm found the mo7

9:44 pm

stidmama

thanks for blowing the suspense, krysten!

9:45 pm

stidmama

want to share, cos?

9:45 pm

Krysten

Eek! Sorry!

9:45 pm

cosdem

mo7 builds off the mo4... it has a kinda ending

9:46 pm

jesdraggon

thanks, cos

9:46 pm

stidmama

thanks cos -- it's okay krysten, but because there are time delays folks here usually refrain from discussing what happens on television... I'll just not watch that one now.

9:46 pm

stidmama

ah, got it!

9:46 pm

cosdem

yw :)

9:48 pm

stidmama

and since I am not going to watch it, I might as well go to sleep. It feels like a much longer day than it actually was.

9:48 pm

stidmama

lilliann, hope you get to sleep soon. Have a wonderful weekend all! *poof*

9:48 pm

Krysten

Yeah, I got it...so sorry. Just didn't think about this one in the same way since it's a "live" event. Sorry again.

9:48 pm

cosdem
